Concept introduction:
The volume of the gas shows inverse relation with the pressure at a constant temperature according to a Boyle’s law. Mathematically, it is expressed, as shown below.
Here,
Answer to Problem 12E
The pressure increases with decrease in volume from
Explanation of Solution
According to the equation of Boyle’s law if volume is increased for a particular or constant temperature then the pressure of the gas will be decreased to keep the

Answer to Problem 12E
The pressure of a gas decreases when its moles
Explanation of Solution
The relation given by all the variables of a gas is stated as below.
According to the relation given above pressure is directly proportional to the number of moles. Pressure will be decreased with the decrease in number of moles to maintain the gas law when all other variables are kept constant.
Gas law is written below.
